Skin findings can be critical to determining whether a patient with lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), a progressive pulmonary disease that predominantly affects adult women, has sporadic LAM or LAM in association with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Three individuals with LAM underwent evaluation for TSC-associated mucocutaneous and internal findings. We used our previously published algorithm to confirm the clinical suspicion for mosaicism and guide the selection of tissue specimens and genetic workup.

In patients with tuberous sclerosis, we can today distinguish between two different categories of segmental mosaicism. The well-known simple segmental mosaicism is characterized by a unilateral or otherwise localized arrangement of the ordinary lesions of the disorder, reflecting heterozygosity for an early postzygotic new mutation. By contrast, superimposed mosaicism is defined by a pronounced segmental involvement in a patient with ordinary non-segmental lesions of the same disorder, resulting in a heterozygous embryo from loss of the corresponding wild-type allele that occurred at a very early developmental stage.
